Citrus Fruits 
The tree attains a height of 10 to 12 feet, with a spread of top nearly equal to the height. It is 
very symmetrical in growth and produces an abundance of handsome little fruits annually. The 
blossoms come during the summer and the fruit ripens during the late fall and winter. 
This fruit has been introduced in a limited way, in the markets of this country and, where 
properly handled, has brought very fancy prices. On our own shipments we have obtained from 
$6 to $10 per strawberry crate of thirty-two quarts. In packing our fruit, we always clip little 
bunches of fruit with foliage attached and pack it in strawberry baskets. In northern markets it 
seems to sell better where the foliage is mixed in with the fruit, as Kumquats are often used for 
table decoration, and the leaves add greatly to their beauty. This is an advantage from the ship¬ 
per’s standpoint, as the leaves help to fill up the baskets and make a larger volume than if the 
fruit is clipped off and packed by itself. Kumquats are eaten whole, rind and all. Preserved in 
sugar or crystallized they make a delicious confection, appreciated by most people. 
In China and Japan Kumquats are grown almost exclusively on Citrus trifoliata stock. We 
have found this stock very satisfactory and use it exclusively in our own planting. They grow 
well on Rough Lemon stock, but on sweet and sour orange they have not proven satisfactory, and 
we no longer propagate them on sweet and sour.
